UNL fans, I was as sure as sure can be that Will Shields wore 66 for the Huskers.  He did not.  Am I mixing him up with someone else?  This is bothering me.

Shileds wore 75, and he'll be on that voting list, but did someone great wear 66 at Nebraska?  Or am I going crazy?

Best Player: Wayne Meylan, Middle Guard, 1965 - 1967
Other notables: Brenden Stai, Guard, 1991 - 1994

Comments: Meylan was a fearsome presence in the middle for the early Devaney teams. He was named Player of the Year by the Big 8 in both his junior and senior seasons, while picking up All-America honors in both seasons. Meylan's life was tragically cut short in 1987 when a World War II era airplane he was piloting crashing during an air show in Michigan. He was posthumously elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1991.

When I think of the Pipeline in the 1990s, I think of guys like Brenden Stai. Not overly flashy, not loud or boisterous, but completely and utterly dominating. Stai was 300 pounds of muscle and brute strength that opened gaping holes all game long.

I think Deacon is getting a lot of votes here based on his stellar NFL career.

I'm gauging the improvement of the voting populace here.....it's a plateau.
